SCRAPIHAPILICIOUSME is my brand name and trademark. It simply defines my general mood when I'm in my craft zone. I craft till I drop! I'm totally crazy over the gadgets and goodies that goes with it.
Happy Crafting!

My very first time to create a step stair card and it is simply the rule of the day - create a step stair card =)

Geez! With less sleep for the past few days my mind couldn't think clearly. It took a lot of time for me to conceptualize the design. What I have in my mind is to create a card that represents my 2 great crafty friends plus me. So, I opted to make a FRIENDSHIP card. I adore vibrant colors so I definitely used some of the bright colors that I have.

We will be using color scheme: black & white with any one other color.

Creating Pop Up Cards is really fun but a little engineering is kind'a the wacky part. It's not my first time to create a pop art card so it's not a new thing for me but there are many ways to create such a card from the simplest technique to the intricate ones.

I created a card with a theme of THANKFULNESS. I'm so thankful that I met Joan and Claire, which by the way we are the 3 crafters doing this VCMW. I'm thankful because they have been guiding me in many ways and we have nourished our friendship as much as we can. I'm thankful because of them I learned many wonderful things in the world of paper crafting. Most of all, I'm so thankful that we 3 agreed to have this Virtual Card Making Week as our way of bonding moments PLUS, I'm beginning to feel comfortable in card making.

As always I had fun creating the 3rd challenge for the day. I really enjoyed stamping and coloring the dress .... adding crystals and ribbons. It was like during my college days in Fine Arts, when I had to design 12 textiles as part of my theses. We were required to make each design at 60 x 40 size illustration board and all drawn and hand painted!!!!

Haahahhahahahahahaha if you will look closely, the shape of my card is not perfect BUT i'm still proud of it coz the set was made with so much love, joy, and laughter.
Stamping the skirt is really an enjoyable moment for me =D

I'm not in my real self this day :(A big event is coming for me - will be catering for 60 people!!!! I'm so glad I have my friend to do this venture together. It all started when she asked if I would love to cater for 30 people the other Sunday and said yes and it was a huge success :O

I couldn't concentrate on what set of menus we will be presenting plus we're going to have a food sampling within this week. Although I have prepared set menus last week, the coming event will be kind'a different coz it will be more of Filipino food ... I think. I do have secret recipes when it comes to Filipino food but part of me is not in so much favor. Most of the guests are swedish and I know they love Thai food so I guess mix of swedish, thai, and filipino food will be the best. Oh well, we'll see ...... my friend and I will have a meeting tomorrow. The funny thing is we just wanted to have extra money to burn hahahahahahaha and we're not planning to put up a catering business ... for now. Both of us are just playing like little kids hahahahahahaha.

Rules for the day: a Halloween or a Christmas Card using 1 image cut by Cricut Expression, 2 stamped images (colored, if possible) and 1 image cut using your Spellbinder dies. You are free to use any color scheme or any sketches that pleases you.

Whew!
When I read the rules for the 2nd day, it literally gave me shivers coz I only played with my cricut once and that was when I tried my SCAL. After that day I had no time to play more with my cricut :(

Being a not so "techy" person, I have no exact idea how the machine really works but I just have to try my best in order for me to complete the requirements for the day.

Some people call it Pyramid Card and to some it is Kaleidoscope Card but one thing for sure it is indeed layering =O

My 2 great crafty friends and Iagreed to have a Virtual Card Making (VCM) wherein we will be creating 6 kinds of cards. I find it so fun and really challenging. The best part is our friendship goes deeper as we tackle the challenges. I get to know them more because aside from playing together in making the cards, I get to see how they expresses their creativity for the day's challenge. And the most awesome part, we're gonna swap the cards amongst us as soon as the last challenge is done hihihihihihihihihihi. Can't wait to have their cards hahahahahahahaha.

First Day Challenge : The twist of this challenge is we will be using stamped images to make a kaleidoscope instead of a picture.

When I read the challenge I almost fainted coz that will be difficult for me hahahahahahhahhahahaha plus need to find the right measurements for each layer.

Anyway, here's my card and I pray that I did well =D
Size of the card is A6 (big huh?!) I kind'a like the distress look of my card all because of forgetting to rub-off thin layer of the stamp using sandpaper.

Last Oct 16 afternoon till late evening, I got so bored at home. I ended up getting bored coz I don't exactly know how to organize my other room at the basement. The room is filled with more of my craft materials ... spring and summer clothes .... shoes of all sorts .... my ever-growing collection of bags .... cuttleries .... and boxes of toys and clothes that my son no longer use. For me to organize that room needs a miracle hehehehehehehe. I ended up picking all the plums from the ground at the garden and threw. After that, I went to my craft room and created few Christmas cards.

I was so determined to use 3D-decoupage on every card for the day coz I've got few left-overs from last year. No stamping on this batch of cards except for 2 cards but did play with some of my Martha Stewart punchers and Cuttlebug embossing folders. I used ribbons, pearl makers, and stickles plus my son's reindeer mini puncher and "God Jul" letter puncher.

While hubby was busy helping her daughter last Oct 8, my step-daughter, move things in her very first own apartment, I opted to stay at home and tried my best to start creating Christmas cards to be sold. Last year I sold 100 cards making those for a very limited time. This year, I thought of .... got inspired to start making the cards earlier.
